The value of the global Microfluidics Market is projected to be US$ 3,800.4 Mn in 2018 and to increase to US$ 12,927.6 Mn by the end of 2027.
Over the forecast period, a high prevalence rate of lifestyle diseases is anticipated to fuel market expansion for microfluidics. For instance, 500 million individuals globally had type 2 diabetes in 2018, according to a report by the American Diabetes Association titled "Global Prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes over the Next Ten Years (2018-2028)".
Miniaturisation, integration, and automation of priceless complicated chemical, biological, and physical assays are further factors that are anticipated to support market expansion. Due to advantages including decreased sample and reagent consumption, shorter analysis times, simplicity of automation, and the ability to run parallel tests, which reduces assay costs and time, microfluidics systems are a useful tool for biological and chemical assays.
